Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 225 - 209: Super Sensitivity—Solo Ascent Without Oxygen

[Rapid Step lv5 (0.1%)]

[Traits: 20% reduction in stamina consumption for movement; gain accelerated reaction nerves.]

"Accelerated reaction nerves?"

Wang Ye was puzzled as he read the description of this trait.

Reaction nerves usually refer to the body's regular response to stimuli from the internal and external environment; the speed of reaction nerves is the speed of transmitting from cause to effect, perceiving the development of things, energy conversion, and information transmission, among other natural phenomena.

In layman's terms, it's the reflex arc.

For someone with poor reflex arcs, if someone throws them a bottle of drink, they might not react until the drink hits the ground.

Whereas, for someone with excellent reflex arcs, even if faced with an object falling in an instant, they can precisely catch it in mid-air.

Therefore, enhancing the speed of reaction nerves simply means enhancing one's reflex arc, turning from sluggish to sharp, and from sharp to even sharper.

"If it's just like this, then my original reaction nerves should be already excellent," Wang Ye furrowed his brows and muttered to himself.

It's worth noting that he could maneuver the handlebars precisely to avoid obstacles even while descending at 200 mph, a level of reflex arcs that is top-notch, whether in the field of fighting or racing.

Experiments have shown that the average person's reaction speed is 0.3 seconds, a professional athlete's is 0.2 seconds, and South Korean esports player Faker from SKT had a tested reaction speed of 0.106 seconds. Although Wang Ye had never tested his reaction speed with professional instruments, he could guess his original reaction speed might be around 0.005-0.01 seconds.

While Wang Ye was deep in thought, he caught sight of a slowly falling snowflake not far away.

In Wang Ye's perception, it took at least 10 seconds for that snowflake to fall from half a meter high to the ground.

"Can the speed of snowflakes falling be this slow?" Wang Ye squinted his eyes slightly.

Usually, snowflakes fall at a speed of 1-2 meters per second.

When the surrounding wind speed is high, the falling speed of snowflakes might slow down slightly, but it would never slow down to the speed of 0.5 meters in 10 seconds.

The only possibility is that the flow of time in my perception has slowed down. So originally what was one second for others feels like ten seconds, or even twenty seconds, to me.

Upon realizing this, Wang Ye's eyes slightly narrowed as he turned to look towards the camp.

He noticed that the actions of a Sherpa Guide chiseling at the ice not far away appeared to be slowed down a thousandfold.

To the point where Wang Ye could clearly see the slow-motion of the Ice Axe being lifted and then falling.

And the ice layer getting pierced by the pick; the fracture exploding like a blooming shell, spraying countless raindrop-like ice shards onto his frostbite-covered face.

"Sure enough, time around me has slowed down."

Wang Ye redirected his gaze back to himself.

And attempted to test the limits of this ability.

After several trials, he discovered he could easily control this time perception ability.

When he relaxed his mind, the time flow in his perception would return to its normal pace.

But when he concentrated his mind, the time in his eyes would instantly slow down by more than ten times.

And as his focus intensified, the speed of time lapse in his perception could slow down from 10 times to 20 times, or even 30 times.

This slowing factor should have an upper limit, as he found that his thoughts and emotions could cause fluctuations in the factor, but Wang Ye had yet to test out what the limit was.

After all, the current environment did not push his mind to its limit. It's only during a crisis that his mind might be forced to its extremity.

After testing out the usage of this ability.

Wang Ye named it "Super Sensing," also known as "Super Sensitivity."

Additionally, in this state of Super Sensing, his body would also enter a state akin to adrenaline surging, with movement speed forcibly increased to match the reaction nerve speed.

But the downside is that when he fully activates Super Sensing, his physical stamina consumption becomes very intense. It's like an untrained person suddenly starting Running. The body would enter a state of overload, and maintaining this state for a long time would cause damage to the body.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye looked up again, "Since body movements also speed up correspondingly, my walking speed after activating 'Super Sensitivity' should appear very fast to ordinary people."

It's like "Quicksilver" in the Marvel Movies, when in his eyes, he's just moving in a near-still time, but to others, it's like instant teleportation.

Wang Ye planned to use Ah Gui's camera later to record his state of Running when he activates Super Sensitivity. Currently, Ah Gui is the only person he can trust on Mount Everest, and he's also an employee of Anta, bound by confidentiality agreements, so there's no worry about information leaking.

He needs to know how fast his movement speed after activating Super Sensitivity appears to ordinary people. So he could decide whether to unleash this Skill in front of ordinary people in the future.

Wang Ye immediately returned to the camp and went to Ah Gui's tent.

At this time, Ah Gui was sitting in the tent, gnawing on a piece of bread, his face somewhat pale.

It seemed that prolonged coughing had caused his physical condition to deteriorate rapidly.

To him, gnawing on bread felt like swallowing razor blades now.
